About Us

We are Nick and Natalie, an English guy and a Scottish girl that met in October 2011. This blog was for when we lived in Vancouver from March 2012-March 2013. We posted everything about our experience of applying for a visa, preparation for moving, and everything we got up to once we moved there. Now we're back in the UK, we'll use the blog to write about our future travels, and how it is adjusting to life after Canada!
